We often answer that question with what we do, and not really replying with who we are as a person. The trouble is that we let our social status and functions in life decide what makes us who we are. Many among us simply don’t know who we are.

Who is your authentic self?

There is a higher level of existence. It is true and genuine, and it beautifully represents the person you are. It’s your authentic self.

Staying true to your authentic self is the best possible way of living your life.

However, peer pressure, social ideals and society standards drive us to live as the fictional self (the person we have been told to become) as opposed to the authentic self (the person we are meant to be).

Don’t let your life be defined by others. Our personality profiling specialists at Celebrity Galore offer the following tips on how to retain your authentic self.

Be Good To Yourself

Take care. Work on pursuits that can enrich your mind, body and soul. Tutor kids, learn a new language, start a business, go fishing, travel as much as possible and take part in activities that will enhance your sense of self and boost self-confidence.

Exercise That Funny Bone

Find humor in everyday life, and don’t let go of the little joys. Life can be hard; don’t let stress get you down. Instead, employ your razor sharp sense of humor as a community building tool, helping you through tough situations.

Don’t Hide Your Flaws

Flaunt them instead. No one is perfect. In fact, take a look at history and you will find that many successful people through the ages—from Charlie Chaplin to Steve Jobs have been a little weird and quirky—to say the least. Understand yourself, your ideas, capabilities, and flaws. And bring it all to the table, unapologetically.

Be Hungry for Authenticity

There is no denying the fact that we have variations of self. This simply means that we present different faces to different situations in our lives. The way you act around clients may not be how you behave around your parents. It’s something we all do to some extent. However, people who are truly at peace with themselves are hungry for authenticity. They are in search of their true selves.

In short, the root to authenticity as a person isn’t just being honest, but also being supremely self-aware as a person. So be more humble, and always appreciate honest, constructive criticism.

Whenever we think of tragedies of fame, names such as Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston readily come to mind.

They were the most celebrated icons of their time, touching unchartered heights of fame and success.

So what went wrong?

The Aspiration To Be A Star

Millions of people across the world fantasize about becoming a star. They are really wishing for:

Approval by others

Validation of their work

A rationale of their existence

And we want all of this from ‘other people’. These others are notoriously fickle, with each of them having an agenda of their own.

Stardom can have a huge price to pay because stars often fall prey to those with vested interests and their agendas.

Their attention span is very small; they move on from star to star, in search of their favorites and the next latest fad.

This undoubtedly hurts the artistic sensibilities of the famous, leading them down the dark and narrow paths of depression, abuse and ultimately self destruction.

Many stars and starlets fall prey to the vicious cycle of approving attention and doing more outrageous things to achieve it.

However, the really successful ones have figures out how to separate their professional neediness of approval, from personal peace and satisfaction. They can integrate their fame and fortune into a functional real-life and lead healthy happy lives.

But they seldom make the news.

The train wrecks on the other hand are fascinating to watch, and the constant media coverage only puts more fuel to the fire that is their self-destruction.

Spiritual Practice: The Missing Component of Fame and Fortune

Fame does not bring peace and tranquility, and that is its real downfall. Celebrities, who deal successfully with the glam empty life of fame, often have a strong spiritual life behind the limelight.

Spiritual practice helps people remove greed and jealousy from their lives. And when they learn to rely on their true, inner self for satisfaction, the need for worldly approval fades away.

This simply means that fame and stardom isn’t bad or wrong, but the way it is handled is what can lead to troubles for stars.

Most people simply don’t know how to handle fame. Instead, they are used by industry influencers are the perfect pawns.
